Gilles Peterson presents Havana Cultura
World renowned globetrotting DJ, broadcaster and tastemaker, Gilles Peterson teamed up with the award winning Cuban jazz pianist, Roberto Fonseca, to find the very best up and coming musical talent in Havana.
Featuring the work of over 20 musicians and artists recorded across 28 tracks, the double CD album is a celebration of Cuba’s freshest musical talent from latin, afro jazz and fusion to hip hop, funk, reggaeton and R&B. The album includes a collection of new material written and recorded in Havana by undiscovered local street and urban musicians such as vocalist D’nay (described by Gilles Peterson as “Cuba’s Jill Scott”) and Doble Filo as well as international award winning artists such as rapper Kumar and pianist Roberto Fonseca. Fans of Cuban music will also recognise a number of traditional Cuban classics such as Chekere Son, which have been carefully re-recorded by Gilles Peterson.
The album will be available worldwide on Brownswood Recordings. It is a double album consisting of one CD of brand new recordings produced by Gilles Peterson jointly with Roberto Fonseca and Vince Vella and the second CD a compilation of Gilles’s favourite current and recent Cuban music

DJ Spinna - The Boogie Back
In the crate-digging spirit of previous BBE compilations, The Boogie Back looks at the Boogie dance music of the early '80s, a time when funk, disco and R&B were all being mashed together via artists like Kurtis Blow and Mtume.
A child of the '70s, New York native DJ Spinna, AKA Vincent Williams, grew up in the heyday of boogie, and has compiled this collection of classics and rarities. Disc 1 of the double CD set features 16 tracks mixed by Williams, including two of his own re-edits: an exclusive remix of Jan Leslie Holmes' "I'm Your Superman," and his ReFREAK edit of Community People's "Education Wrap." Meanwhile, the second disc features 12 DJ-friendly full-length unmixed tracks.
